A very impressive and dramatic large (21 inches tall just the studio ceramic body , 29 inches tall including the period correct and original stylized base to where the light bulb screws in , and 37 inches or higher to the top of the shade depending on the shade) . Super fine and sleek glazed body brilliant with a lava dripping design much like an important abstract painting. This lamp can be a great addition to a room setting with important vintage furniture by major designers of the same period such as Estelle and Erwine Laverne , Vladmir Kagan , Paul Evans , Edward Wormly Finn Juhl and the like .
